I hope to do more of these, and tell me what you think. I just wanted to talk a little bit about my favorite product of the month. I use an Acne cleanser for my face for the morning and at night, but I felt like it wasn't really deep cleaning my skin, so I wanted to try something with a little bit of more consistency and that exfoliates. The acne cleanser I'm using now does have those little balls(lol) that kind of deep clean, but not really. So when I was at Wal-Mart I decided to check out other cleansers, and since I'm on a strict budget now with my new vehicle, I thought I'd look for something affordable. So I saw this, it's by Dove, and it's an exfoliator. I've been using this for about more than a week now, once a day, and I've noticed my skin being a lot softer, and cleaner, and I haven't had a break out yet. And I'm extremely sensitive to breakouts with products!

First of all, here's my YouTube Video of it:

...........

See the little "blue balls" exfoliators???... hehe

Rating: 4/5 (only because I've only been using it for a week or so)

..................

I also went to Ulta because I had a coupon $3.50 off a $10 purchase and today was the last day, so I had to go. Unfortunately, they were all out of the Stila for Barbie collection. I want that palette!! So I ended up getting these:

Swatches...

I'm actually really surprised at the pigmentation of the Loreal Hip line.. ah-mazing, the color pay off is great!

I'm not a huge purple fan, but for some reason this season, I find myself wanting to wear purple.. weird, I know. And I love this color!

................................

I also picked up some nail art...

And a ring... $2.00!!

.......................

And here's an outfit I wore the other day I wanted to post, but forgot about... it's a Cardigan from Macy's, a long tank from Forever 21, and Black leggings(unknown), and a scarf from my previous haul...

I'm in desperate need of an outfit for my birthday and can't seem to find anything I like... :(

Here's me again trying to stretch my wardrobe with different outfit ideas with one piece... this time I'm pairing it with a basic plaid shirt featured in one of my hauls.. And I look tired because I was doing this at 1 in the morning!! School and work really has gotten the best of me!!

Hello! I don't know about anyone else, but I am jammed with school work, and work. I go to school full time, and I also work full time.... and I have a full time boyfriend. lol JK(Love you John!) But ya, so I apologize for the lack of updates. :(

But anyway, I wanted to share with you girls some new things I've gotten since we last spoke... As you know I ordered the boots and the purse from Victoria Secrets.. unfortunately, I didn't even take any pictures of the boots, they're already packaged up and ready to return... they're DEFECTIVE!! $158 boots... defective... umm... hello?? lol So I'm keeping the beautiful Guess purse...

...............

I also bought me some new boots... and some new flats...

My new studded flats and purse.. <3

New boots by Fergie... Oh my goodness, these boots are unbelievably comfortable... They're black, but my camera kind of washed the color out...

Those boots are more beautiful than my Victoria Secrets ones.. :) And boxed nicer too! The box of the Vicki's ones are like a cheap cardboard... ew..

......................

So I thought I'd try something new.. whenever I buy something I want to make sure I can do different outfit ideas with it, and if I can't do any outfits at all with what I buy, I'm not going to keep it... maybe this will help me better organize my closet, and it'll also help me with different outfits I could wear... if that makes any sense at all.. and guess what? You girls get to be the judge of my outfit ideas hahaa.....

So with this, I bought this floral skirt just recently and decided to try to do different outfit ideas...

Just the skirt with a plain black tank, tank tucked in

I decided to try to add a belt to change the look

Then for fall I thought it would look nice with a plain cardigan.. too bad I don't have a nice blue/pink cardigan to go with the floral....

Unbuttoned Cardigan

Buttoned

With cardigan unbuttoned w/ belt

Cardigan buttoned with belt over

Outfit all-together with leggings and I'd pair it with my black Uggs

.............................

A top I bought that I thought was sooo cute... with a bow on it... :)

I paired it with a pencil skirt...

I'd probably pair it with my tweed boots...(not pictured)

I hope this helped you girls with different outfit ideas you can do with a skirt... or maybe you should try this... it really helps with when you go to decide what you want to wear that day.. you can remember this and it'll be easier to get ready in the morning...

This is very, very random, but I absolutely needed to share, because I'm so excited about it.... So in one of my videos I mentioned how I wanted to order a pair of boots from Victoria Secrets that I saw in their one catalog... but couldn't decide if I really wanted to spend the $148 on them...

ALSO I really wanted this purse from Guess for the fall... which is $140...

Which I was going to get anyway when I went to King of Prussia for my birthday... BUT , ironically Victoria Secrets has the same exact purse on their website!!

So this is what I did... :) I added both items to my shopping bag... bringing the total to $288.... I had a coupon if you spend over $250 you get $75 off... bringing and there is another coupon for boots for an extra 20% off... bring my total to... $203 with shipping... well I had a $60 reward coupon... PLUS a $13 gift card... anyway... TOTAL for both items is $130!!!!!!

Hello! I wanted to post about my little get-a-way to Mount Airy Casino and & Resort when we went 2 weeks ago. :) It was kind of considered like our last get-a-way before school starts and summer ends :( Just me and John. :) It was nice...

If you ever come to PA and you wanna go somewhere with your lover... check out the Poconos... :) If anyone lives in PA they know what I'm talking about. Endless honey moon resorts and couples resorts. :)
